Sir Hugh Munro brought a valuation of teinds against the Officers of State. From the proof it appeared, that he allowed his tenants to dig peats out of a moss belonging to him, and that were he to deprive them of that privilege, they would give £.50 less yearly for their farms, for which sum he accordingly claimed a deduction from his rental.
The Lords unanimously repelled the claim.
Act. Geo. Ferguson. Alt. Balfour. Fac. Coll. No. 8. p. 19.
